Science
Mechanism of Action
This dual-component peptide functions by signaling the skin to activate its natural regenerative processes. The rh-Oligopeptide-1 component, recognized as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), precisely binds to specific cellular receptors, thereby stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal cells. This action promotes endogenous collagen and elastin synthesis, significantly enhances the skin barrier, improves hydration, and modulates inflammatory responses. Simultaneously, the Oligopeptide-91 segment contributes to refining skin texture, improving smoothness, and enhancing overall complexion.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The rh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) component exhibits high sensitivity to pH fluctuations and is susceptible to enzymatic degradation by microorganisms. Strict microbial contamination control is imperative during processing. For optimal stability, it should be incorporated into formulations during the final production stage at temperatures maintained below 40℃.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet assessed Oligopeptide-91 Rh-Oligopeptide-1. While sh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) is authorized for general cosmetic use in various concentrations, long-term safety data remains unknown. Significant concerns exist regarding EGF's mitogenic (cell proliferation stimulating) properties, as it could potentially promote the spread or abnormal growth of existing cancerous cells, or exacerbate conditions in individuals with high skin cancer risk factors or psoriasis.

Verdict
While demonstrating a promising mechanistic basis for skin regeneration and conditioning, a 'insufficient-data' rating is assigned due to the lack of specific clinical studies for this combined ingredient and the significant, unaddressed safety concerns regarding the mitogenic potential of its EGF component.
